Study guide Kinetic energy is –energy that is being used. A rollercoaster in motion is kinetic energy Potential energy is -energy that has the potential to be used. A person about to swing a baseball bat is potential energy
Mechanical energy: energy of a moving parts of a machine. When a machine makes a product it is an example of mechanical energy. Thermal energy: energy in the form of heat. When water boils heat is produced that is thermal energy. Acoustic energy: Sound traveling in waves which is felt by vibrations. A example of acoustic energy is drum.
Electrical energy: the energy associated with movement of electrons through a electric wire or a circuit. A example of electrical energy is when you receive a shock from mental doorknob. Chemical energy: the energy that is stored in the body and in molecules. A example of chemical energy is in the food you eat like chocolate. Electromagnetic energy: potential energy of an electric or magnetic field. A example of electromagnetic energy is the light you see each day. Nuclear energy: the energy released by a nuclear energy. A example of nuclear energy is sun.
